Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 420


Leah had no problem putting up a cheerful front despite having been humiliated not moments ago. There were a lot of things that she could easily brush off despite how grave it was to other people. For example, she had no problem tarnishing her own reputation by framing Bryce in order to marry into the Morgan Family, as she cared not about her reputation.

As soon as Ian said so, Logan recalled what happened exactly back then. “Yeah, I remember how ruthless Leah could be now that you mentioned it. She was the one who leaked obscene photos of her and Bryce to the press, as well as hiring paparazzi to close in on her and Bryce while they were being intimate. She never cared about her reputation, so there aren’t a lot of things that could get to her.”

After having said so, Logan began scratching his head before squatting down on the sofa with his hands on his knees. Meanwhile, Sophia tugged on him. “You should sit properly instead of squatting on the sofa like a monkey.”

Upon turning to look at Sophia, Logan said, “Sophia, you’re both conniving and have a lot of ideas, so why don’t you come up with one?”

Sophia shot him a glare. “Come again?”

On the other hand, Ian came up with something else. “What Leah cared the most was her status as Bryce’s wife, as well as her two children.”

Logan turned to look at Ian while thinking to himself, Leah has a firm hold on her status as the matriarch of the Morgans. In order to get rid of her, I will have to start by undermining Bryce’s support for her by introducing him to a new love who can stand up against Leah.

However, the only problem was that Logan couldn’t bring himself to use another woman like that, seeing that Bryce was so old, so he scratched that idea, which left him only with Leah’s children to work with. The second option wasn’t that hard at all, considering the siblings were full of openings that he could make use of, so it was almost a no-brainer for Logan to deal with them.

Logan gave his thigh a slap while declaring, “Alright, I get it now. Since I do have an idea now, I will implement it right away.” Now that he had a lead to work on, Logan’s mood improved significantly. There was a shift in the conversation when Logan turned to look at Sophia. “I just gave your ex-husband a call, and he had been inquiring about you. To be frank, I would’ve assumed you’re all lovey-dovey if I hadn’t known you’re divorced.”

What Logan said startled Sophia. “What did he ask about? I don’t see anything worthwhile in him doing so.”

Logan sat crossed-legged while explaining, “Nothing too serious, as he only ever asked about inconsequential stuff. He wanted to know what you’ve been eating and drinking, how your sleep quality is, as well as what you have been doing. I’ll have you know that John doesn’t normally behave like that.”

I figured so, especially when Logan thought so, too. Sophia’s eyes went wide while she nodded. “That is odd indeed. I’ve been wondering if he was displeased by the amount for the alimony which I requested when we divorced.”

John had given her a huge amount of money when they divorced, as well as because of what happened before that. It was such an astronomical amount that Sophia had a hard time believing that he wouldn’t feel aggrieved upon giving the money away just like that. Did he regret giving so much money to me that he’s trying to find ways to get back at me now?

However, Logan cried out in confusion, not quite getting what Sophia was thinking. “Are you sure you’re on the right track? Money is of no importance to John.”

On the other hand, Sophia was almost certain that she was correct in her assumption. Why would he venture into business if he thinks money is of no importance? What Logan said sounds implausible.

Ian was observing Sophia from the side before he said, “No matter the reason, John shouldn’t be in frequent contact with Sophia. The situation has recently begun to subside, but there must be someone else waiting to stir things up again, so you’d better be careful.”
